Sending a FAX via HP Smart printer. Need to know sending FAX number for reference

1 REPLY 1

Welcome to the HP Community --

 

HP Smart is an application in this context -- it is not a printer.

 

What is a printer / fax?

Some printers include a fax hardware component -- this was the gold standard in decades past.

New printers, especially those that are less expensive, do not always include Fax hardware.

 

If your printer includes built-in Fax hardware (in the printer), then your Fax number is the phone number connected / assigned when you set up the Basic Fax settings on the printer control screen or using EWS.  For example, many people connect there printer / fax to their home land-line phone number.  The user manual for your printer full explains the fax hardware, the setup, and how to send and receive faxes on your printer model.

 

===============================

HP Smart can use HP Mobile Fax.

 

Sample - HP Smart - Mobile - iOS - Home Page

HP_Smart_Mobile_iOS_Home_Page_1HP_Smart_Mobile_iOS_Home_Page_1

 

HP Mobile Fax is software (actually an application) --

There is no need for a "sending fax" number because a phone line is not required to use the application and send a fax.

 

Reminder

At this writing, the Mobile Fax app is still in the never-ending Trial period. 

What? 

Once started (by you), the trial period is (apparently) two years, after which the app will stop working.

 

"Trial" means, there is no actual support beyond the documentation you can find on the subject at the website at in the "unfinished" contract document.

 

What is a "Trial"?

You are allowed to use the application and there is no actual support number or resource to help with issues or questions.
